The virtual panel will cover the West Virginia mine wars, historic and recent strikes in the Appalachian region, subsistence in the face of concentrated government repression, how these events have been portrayed historically, and what can be learned from them today.

I can’t imagine what you have to do to a human’s soul to make them believe that this is justified or worse yet to lie about it being pretend.

With the timeline to appeal closing in, funds for both appeals and state lawyers are vital. We encourage you to share this link or host your own fundraising events locally, and we are grateful for your support. Together we will bring the defendants home! www.GiveSendGo.com/supportDFWProtestors

Flyer with dull red and dark blue pixelated background that reads: Help Fund Appeals And State Trials. While federal sentencing for the Prairieland defendants has passed, the defendants are still filing appeals!

Not only that, there are state trials upcoming for everybody. Please don't let the momentum and attention on this case wane!

The defendants need to raise funds for both appeals and state lawyers, which are extremely costly. Not only that, the timeline to appeal is closing in, making the need to pay for lawyers even more pressing.

Share the fundraiser links widely! We encourage you to host your own fundraising events to raise more funds.

Government surveillance of our bookstore and its customers isn't new, but local cops have been doing it with drones since at least 2023. The conspicuousness suggests it's primarily intended to harass and intimidate.

Asheville may have canceled its Flock contract, but APD was still monitoring attendees of a book fair with drones last night.

We believe it's critical that our industry become familiar with the cases of Ines Soto, Elizabeth Soto & Daniel Sanchez Estrada. To take this threat seriously, our networks and membership organizations must prepare to respond forcefully to the criminalization, arrest & prosecution of booksellers.

Earlier this year we saw individuals producing and distributing zines convicted of material support for terrorism in Texas. Unfortunately, this attack on free expression has not sent shockwaves through the book industry. It's gone largely unnoticed.
